  1. Graphical Analysis of Simple Harmonic Motion www.assignmentpoint.com

  2. Objectives: • State the formula required for SHM. • Recognize equations and graphs which represent the variation of displacement, velocity and acceleration with time. • Investigate simulations of mass-spring systems and the simple pendulum. www.assignmentpoint.com

  3. Oscillation of the spring and the motion of the pendulum are the examples of simple harmonic motion. fig a is showing the displacement time graph fig b is showing the velocity time graph  fig c is showing the acceleration time graph of the Simple Harmonic Motion. www.assignmentpoint.com

  4. Velocity in SHM The velocity(v) of an oscillating body at any instant is the horizontal component of its tangential velocity (vT). vT = wR = wA; w = 2f v = -vTsin ;  = wt v = -w A sin w t v = -2f A sin 2ft www.assignmentpoint.com

  5. Acceleration Reference Circle The acceleration (a)of an oscillating body at any instant is the horizontal component of its centripetal acceleration (ac). a = -accos q = -ac cos(wt) R = A a = -w2A cos(wt) www.assignmentpoint.com

  6. The Period and Frequency as a Function of a and x. For any body undergoing simple harmonic motion: Since a = -4p2f2x and T = 1/f The frequency and the period can be found if the displacement and acceleration are known. Note that the signs of aand x will always be opposite. www.assignmentpoint.com

  7. Period and Frequency as a Function of Mass and Spring Constant. For a vibrating body with an elastic restoring force: Recall that F = ma = -kx: The frequency f and the period T can be found if the spring constant k and mass m of the vibrating body are known. Use consistent SI units. www.assignmentpoint.com

  8. Example 3: A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simple pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 9.40 s. What is the height of the tower? L = Height = 21.93 m www.assignmentpoint.com

  9. SHM and Uniform Circular Motion Springs and Waves behave very similar to objects that move in circles. The radius of the circle is symbolic of the displacement, x, of a spring or the amplitude, A, of a wave. www.assignmentpoint.com

  10. w = 2f The Reference Circle The reference circle compares the circular motion of an object with its horizontal projection. x = Horizontal displacement. A = Amplitude (xmax). q = Reference angle. www.assignmentpoint.com
